It was a cruel and unimaginable farewell . The fastest man in the history of mankind crossing the lame goal, head down, with his retinue of sprinters behind like a defeated army. Actually staged that: the defeat of an empire, that of Jamaican speed, which is empty of the London World Championships in the sector that have dominated with a steel fist throughout the century. None of the titles of 100, 200 and 4x100 relay went to the Caribbean island. The blow is considerable.
Bolt took the witness from Yohan Blake when the sinking of Jamaica was divined at the London Olympic. I was third, with surprising Britain, gold at the end (37.47) and the United States, which ran on 4th Street, next to Bolt, in second position. The Jamaican giant grabbed the iron and started what looked like a progression. For a long distance I had to cut everything was possible. He began to move his long legs, which have rearranged the concepts of world speed (41 strides where others give 44, just friction with the ground ...), one, two, three ... But at 20, something failure. It gave the feeling of a jerk and something was out of control in the machine. A ¡ooooh! Was heard throughout the stadium, which barely sighted as his relay won the gold. US (37.52) was silver and Japan (38.04), bronze.
Assistance came and a wheelchair. But Usain refused to abandon the battlefield that has given him 11 World Cup and eight Olympic medals . He got up and walked with his gaze on the horizon toward a goal that was the last. His leg did not ache, his soul ached.Bolt had prepared a farewell unlike any other. He ran the series in the morning, something he had never done before since he first lined up in a Jamaican 4x100 at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Olympic gold he was later stripped of by Nesta Carter's positive. And that cold morning, like all those who have lived in the Olympic Stadium in London, which has weighed the speed marks, it was guessed that the United States, with Rodgers, Gatlin, Lee and Coleman ((37.70) would be a Fierce enemy, having beaten six hundredths to Britain, who did not look like a gold suitor.Bolt crossed the phone with Mo Farah. The last time they met before the cameras, in Rio 2016, Bolt on the podium made the heart gesture with English type arms and this his daily celebration of lightning, in a photo that had already been seen in London. However, this time they were not for jokes. The boatman had just lost the gold at 5,000 meters, Bolt was more tense than usual.
Athletics fires a different athlete. To the first of its lineage that has been introduced in the list Forbes of athletes, full of soccer players, tennis players, golfers and the American sport. Earns $ 24 million a year. In addition to implanting some sidereal records (9.58 and 19.19), it has turned speed into a spectacle . His careers last a few moments, his celebrations and his show take half an hour. It is able to attend one by one to 40 accredited televisions, as it happened in the Rio Games, and to dedicate a personalized space to each one of them. Its emptiness is enormous. Nobody is guessed in the medium term that can give so much visibility to the athletics. Hard times are coming for Sebastian Coe's sport.
